Kritika ManchandaChange is the only constant. We all get so comfortable in situations that sometimes coming to terms with change becomes daunting. But be it our personal life or professional life, it is important to embrace change and move forward in life.
Instead of fearing change, why not look at it as a chance to experience something new and interesting? After all it’s all about your perspective!
Here are 5 ways to embrace change and move forward in life.
1.Take it slow
Small steps lead to big changes. Whenever you’re witnessing a change in situation, the foremost thing is to take it slow and take small steps towards accepting it. You’ll not be able to accept it overnight, give yourself some time and it’ll all fall in place.
For example – After my wedding I felt so out of place in my new home. It is such a big change. But then I made a constant effort to keep myself busy and went with the flow. Slowly the new place also looked inviting and cozy enough!

2. No self loathing
Feeling sorry for yourself will only cultivate more negative feelings. Don’t blame yourself for the inevitable. Embrace change with a positive outlook, try and see the good in it and you’ll be able to move forward.
The aim is to value the journey. Don’t compare it with anyone else’s life. Instead of fretting change, be happy and grateful that you’re strong enough to go through it.
We all should be more grateful in life. Here’s how you can be grateful of the small joys of life.
3. Try to initiate change yourself
Make change while you can, before change makes you. When you make a conscious effort to imbibe change, it becomes a lot easier. It can be something like changing your lifestyle or changing your routine. Know your ultimate goal, make a plan, and work hard to rock it.
A relaxed and calm mind will be able to assess change in a better way. So make sure you keep calm and don’t be too harsh on yourself.
4. Don’t be afraid to try something new
Trying something new can be so intimidating. It can be trying a new style, or a new hobby, learning a new skill or trying to cook a new recipe. For some people these are small things, while for others the idea of stepping out of their comfort zone is a big No-No.
It might sound cliché, but don’t be afraid to try something new. It is the best way to embrace change and get fun new experiences. You never know when a new activity becomes your favorite and you might even excel at it.
5. Seek new perspectives
In today’s life, we all need to have ‘Don’t know’ mindset. It is what zen practitioners do. You work to assume that you don’t know anything and are learning afresh. This gives you a new perspective towards situations and you’re able to understand and accept change in a positive way.
Look at change as an opportunity to start something new and make the most out of it. One way is to start your day on a positive note, here’s how.
